Wish you could'a stayed a little longer
'Cause it seems like only yesterday
You've gotten so much stronger
Now I know you're on your way
We've waited for this moment
Now it's hard to let you go
'Cause baby when you've gone away
I know I'm gonna miss you so
I looked in your room today
I saw an old and worn out shoe
It's one from your favorite pair
I remember when they were new
You used to wear them everywhere
When you used to hold my hand
Time slips through your fingers
Just like a tiny little grain of sand, baby just...
Spread your wings, and fly away
When the rain begins to fall
Just remember that you'll never be that far from home
Just remember that you'll never be that far from home
(Never be that far)
Just remember that you'll never be that far from home
(Never be that far)
Just remember that you'll never be that far from home
Spread your wings, and fly away
Just remember that you'll never be that far from home
(Never be that far)
